Abstract
This study examines the work values of chartered accountants in Australia. Four distinct work values (Career-Orientation, Certainty-Seeking, Altruism, Conflict-Avoidance) were identified and it was found that these work values were associated with the chartered accountants' self-perceptions of work perfor Mance and work-related effort. The sample is 154 accountants working in five firms.Keywords
